Polisi mengatakan pria itu terbunuh setelah tembakan diledakkan ke kerumunan orang di dekat kawasan hiburan Greektown Detroit tadi malam dengan belasan pengunjuk rasa di jalan-jalan, tetapi petugas tidak terlibat dalam penembakan itu.
Tersangka berhenti di kerumunan dengan Dodge Durango dan melepaskan tembakan sekitar pukul 11.30 malam, dan pria itu dinyatakan meninggal di rumah sakit.

Police said the man was killed after shots were fired at a crowd of people near Detroit's Greektown entertainment district last night with dozens of protesters out on the streets, but officers were not involved in the shooting.
The suspect pulled up to the crowd in a Dodge Durango and fired shots at around 11.30pm, and the man was pronounced dead in hospital.
No details about who fired the shots were immediately available, police said. Crowds took to the streets in the city after former officer Derek Chauvin was charged with murder over the death of Mr Floyd, a black man who was handcuffed and pleaded for air as an officer pressed his knee on his neck.
